Meet Carol Carrillo,
Founder of CC Vacations
Hopeless romantic, Hello Kitty obsessive, & your caring travel specialist
In fact, my dad’s profession inspired my own—I graduated from hospitality school in the Philippines and went on to work in several luxury hotels and resorts. Eventually, I made the jump to the U.S. to work with the Marriott brand, before starting my own travel agency in 2019.
My long career in hospitality taught me how to treat my clients with the respect and care they deserve. I know that travel can be a stressful experience—especially if you’re planning a destination wedding or milestone event!—so my team and I do everything we can to take that stress away.
Service from the heart
why I became a honeymoon specialist travel agent
I have my father to thank, too, for my passion for travel. He worked on cruise lines while I was growing up, which took him away from our family for months at a time. But he would take pictures of all the incredible places he visited—from Antigua to Antarctica—and mail them back home to us (this was long before iPhones existed!). I would drool over the photographs and dream of the day I could visit these destinations myself. He's a big part of my journey to becoming a romance travel specialist!
That means welcoming all your questions, working tenaciously to find solutions, and responding with warmth and genuine care, no matter what the travel gods throw our way. At the end of the day, I want my clients to feel like family, and for them to know we have their backs—always.
Welcome to the CC family—we can’t wait to start planning a dreamy escape just for you.
as a romance travel specialist, my goal is to give you a stress-free vacation

I will always use Carol and go through CC Vacations when planning vacations from here on out. Carol was fabulous and made this whole process so easy! I had researched different resorts and airlines and was having no luck getting everything together and I found Carol on Facebook and she made it all come together so easily and took into consideration everything that we requested for our trip. We had the best honeymoon and I am so thankful I found Carol. She is hands down the best!
@ccvacations was truly the BEST we could have ever asked for. Made us and our guests feel completely comfortable from start to finish. Thank you again Carol, and can't thank you enough for/ recommend you enough!!
Few of my Favorites
So I have a few favorite destinations, but one of them is Antigua. Its stunning beaches have definitely captured my heart and earned a top spot on my list! Plus, it's incredibly romantic, with plenty of adults-only resorts to choose from. That's why I enjoy being a honeymoon specialist travel agent!
Antigua
Destination
Particularly the Caribbean Mexico, no matter how many times I've visited, I'm still amazed by its charm! From the vibrant culture to the delicious cuisine, the beaches and thrilling adventures, there's always something new & exciting to discover.

Destination
Beach
BORACAY
This beach holds a special place in my heart. Consistently ranked among the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world, Boracay captured my imagination from the moment I first set foot on its shores at the age of 7. Its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters are truly spectacular.
Food
Seafood
If I see shrimps on a buffet station, you will always see my plate filled with it. Drizzle it with garlic butter & my heart is content. Another seafood that I love is crabs, I enjoyed it steamed with a plate of rice and that is heaven for me LOL
Travel Memory
FAMILY VACATION
This is by far my favorite was our last family vacation to Cancun, check my baby out asleep on the pool with his bottle :)
Vacation Drink
MOJITO
I used to be all about mango margaritas with Tajín, but one fateful sip of a mojito at the airport lounge changed everything. Now, you'll always find me reaching for a refreshing mojito as my go-to drink!
Travel Tip
GET TSA PRE CHECK
If you think you will be traveling often, consider enrolling in TSA PreCheck. For $85, valid for 5 years, you can breeze through airport security lines. If you travel internationally, Global Entry is a great option as it includes Tsa PreCheck benefits.
Excursion
Catamaran cruise
You'll find me happiest aboard a boat, especially when it involves exploring a new destination and snorkeling (just as long as I have my life jacket on LOL)!
